Exchange me for a nickel An alloy so strong Give me five good censes A voice to sing along. Exchange me for a penny So I might shine with worth Doubled twice in value From copper during birth. For two good pennies of a thought I would gladly give a dime Once again to hear you Again in rhythm rhyme. |

if I can make a rhyme you owe me a dime if I can make you holler you owe me a dollar  that was the first rhyme I ever conjured up, at the age of five, attempting to get some piggybank money out of my dad he gave me a five I think but of course, mom took it away and that nearly ended my poetic attempts |

an ingenius little gal you were (and are!); glad you continued to trudge on as a poet and scholar, regardless of the loss of that five dollar! |

Exchange me for a nickel An alloy so strong Give me five good censes A voice to sing along. Only just a shilling Told the 'Press' No way I doubled in value If I wasn't at sea that day No I'm not a cooper But hell doesn't care I hadn't volunteered So doubled in value For their two good pennies of a thought Again in rhythm rhyme Always the pressed Get pushed upto The line Dave |

Lady, Definitely, I'll send you my ten cents worth! Thanks for the smile! misce Dave, Now your rhyme has me thinking. I know I should know this, but how much is a shilling in U.S. currency? Enjoyed your rhyme! Thanks for the fun! misce Ratleader, My mind is slow tonight! Cycle? Ah, short i! Nickel for a cycle! "I don't want a pickle; Just wanna ride on my motorcycle..." Now I'm going to hear that song in all night and in my dreams! Yikes Bikes! Thanks for the grin. misce |

Smart Chick, Glad you enjoyed; some days I like to just like to play with words for fun. Glad you enjoyed. misce iliana, You, Lady, I could not put a value on! hugs, Big Sis. misce Jess, A penny for my thoughts? You must have sent it because I found one today on the sidewalk outside the grocery store! (I'm still waiting for its luck!) Thanks for reading. Hey, I'll consider that my luck! misce |

Cute and clever! ~ Just like you! Your copper penny's Worth a buck or two! Is my rhyming poem Worth it's weight in pay? Twelve coins of gold Would make my day!  For the love of moolah, Linda  |

Earth Angel, yes it's true twelve gold dollars expressed to you! Sooooo good to hear from you again. I have been making my rounds here and was just thinking about you when your name appeared on my post. EXTRA cent-u-ree perception, I'd say! I had planned it the other way round! misce |

Jess, Wow! I hit the jackpot! Thanks, haven't been first for years! Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today. Yesterday a magic penny and now, this flattering comment! If I win, I'll share some of it with you! misce |
